Welcome to Lotusland

A visit to Santa Barbara, California brought Skip to Lotusland and a look at an amazing series of gardens that was developed by a famous opera singer. Over the years a collection of over 3,000 plants from throughout the world have been assembled in a beautiful setting of 25 separate gardens. Many of the garden residents are rare and unusual, and some are even protected by international treaties, making this southern California stop a real treat in itself.
